    The heat in Arizona is no joke!

    I lived out there in the early 2000's and was a cable guy at the time. Nothing like digging a trench in that heat or crawling around in an attic!

    Stay cool dude and get yourself some Gatorade, water is not enough in that heat!
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    More good and bad news.....


    Good News is, Im uploading Day 4 now!

    Bad News is, Just as i hit UPLOAD i got a text from Verizon, telling me i have hit the 50% usage mark:biggrin_2557:.....I'm only on day 4 of the Cycle.....sooooooooo This might be that last Video I can upload until I get home on the 14th.....Well see I may just buy a day of WiFi from the TS and spend all day useing that slow wifi lol


    Anyway I'm in Chander, AZ. yep i drove SOOO far today! Yep i logged a whole 1.5 hours!


    Anyway I get to the Receiver, they say drop trailer there.....Im like say what? Yep I sat there for 46 hours......waiting for a DROP!

    FML


    So then i go to the terminal, grab my load. get my route but wait....NOPE i got routeing to CONOVER! They forgot to put my stop in there.....SO they routed my on 40....I need to take 10 to get to the stop......WAYYY off.


    AND to make it worse....No fuel routing........come on! AND on a holiday weekend.



    Well what ever I'll just fuel before i park so i can shower FREE since i have 0 credit because i havent driven anywhere lol


    I'll end up with another 34 before my stop, then on to conover lol



    HOPEFULLY they will be doing something cool in Fort Worth, TX for the 4th.....

    Another great vid!

    Some people don't like it, but I really love the Mojave desert, lots of history and awesome landscape. The locals in the Mojave are also an interesting breed, lol.

    Ya, Mojave is great. If it wasn't for the heat I'd love it there. Great landscapes :)
